Manage business rule logging

You can enable logging of business rule history to help debug the rule and make necessary changes.

Enabling logging helps view the business rule history for the business rules executed using a process or form. When a business rule is executed within a process with logging status enabled, the history is recorded as a separate job and can be viewed from the parent job properties by selecting the rule and drilling into the properties. When a business rule is executed using a form, test business rule option or a capture action with logging status enabled, the history is recorded as a separate job, and you can search for the business rule job using a job search.

The business rule history is recorded as and when each business rule activity is executed (asynchronous logging) or when the business rule within the process is completely executed (synchronous logging). The executing business rule activities appear with the history status as New Business Rule and the completed business rule activities appear with status Performed.

You can delete the business rule jobs (delete logging) from the database.

Note When Archived Finished Job server setting is set to Yes, on completion or termination of parent job, all the associated business rule jobs are not moved to archive database.

The Export and Import functionalities are not supported for business rule logging.
